To my eyes, I see smaller circles inside the ports, leading me to assume they are less or a glass lens and more of a perforated metal lens. Such eye protection has been seen on helmets throughout history, and on horse chamfrons in the 15thC, so it wouldn't be hard to speculate a close helm with such...

Signature worthy, right there.

I never changed mine, because I use my own name. My glories and failures are my own, and not some fabricated characters.

Kilian_the_warlike

Ok... So only two of seven pipe orders have gotten their stuff so far. If you havn't gotten your stuff yet, PM me.

Kilian_the_warlike

I'll look into it, I had a couple of folks who I shipped pipes to Only just get their stuff in today, and I sent them before anyone in this thread.

Sorry for the delay!

Kilian_the_warlike

... This is my exact size, style/period and material I have been wanting and to top it all off, my favorite and first armorer.

If nothing else pops up to snatch this helm, would you consider payments, with the helm shipped upon completion of payments?

Long shot, but GOD DAMN.

Thanks! I knew the leine has been around, but I didnt know there was that much of a change in design.

Kilian_the_warlike

If you want simple, wide-ranging and accurate, go with a Leine. Very traditional Irish, covers a fair chunk of history (just change what armor is worn with it), and simple as hell to make. Its just a giant yellow tunic with angelwing sleeves! http://obrienclan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/highland...

Which celtic people and what time frame? Bronze age Gaul? Iron age Celt-Iberian? 14th century Saffron shirts? 16th century Border Reivers?

Kilian_the_warlike

Yeah, sorry. Wasn't able to get online until now. Car issues came up and I can't pay till Monday. Any chance yuo can hold on to it for me?

Kilian_the_warlike

Kilian_the_warlike

I'll take it if you throw in the wooden tip, so I can carve a chunk of horn to match. PM me a paypal.

Kilian_the_warlike

Dibs on the brass. How does the internals look? Any scale build up? Whats the hose plug diameter? How long is the stem? what kind of bell seal does it have?

Kilian_the_warlike

Will Mark Kiel please PM me? I got money and an address, but I have no idea who you are on AA and what you ordered!

Kilian_the_warlike

1: Why didnt I think of that?
2: Why isn't the standard on every early period helm?

Kilian_the_warlike

Everyone except for the following should have nothing that should cost more that $5 for shipping with tracking/insurance factored in if you live in the continental US.

Adelaisa and Caius will be like, $6-$7.

Rddenao, you're in alaska, so send me a PM.

Last call for pipes that I can ship by monday!

Kilian_the_warlike

Actually Tim, he is. The Mirror with the angel got up-bidded, but adding the horse charm will make his "package" back to an even $20.00. If he was to be smarmy and only up-bidded a few cents, I would tell him to stuff it, but what he's doing is perfectly fine with me, and keeps the transaction in ev...

BUMP! Ends tommorow, at 11:59 OM EST!

Happy bidding!

Kilian_the_warlike

Would you mind if I change it to 10 for all three on the mirrors? And I don't feel right about bidding so low on the amber, since it would be worth so much more. I'd end up giving it to a local jewelry maker to turn into prize basket gifts or something like that. So kinda emberassed about offering ...

Will you continue producing them? I'm waiting on taxes and probably won't get it in time before they're gone. I am not producing them, but a specialty company who makes goods for Colonial Williamsburg etc. I just have a really hard to get deal with them. These will remain available for future purch...

Never too late to start! Everyone, even the bitchiest of bleeding hearts, likes the smell of a good sweet pipe smoke. I am a buttered rum cavendish fan, myself!

I got shipping quotes! remember, the pipes are light as hell, and ordering a few wont make an appreciable difference in weight if its not being shipped flat-rate.
